I am doing the same thing, provided I can get it lowered an inch or two and not damage the tires in the process. As mentioned, drain the tanks, flush the lines, fill with the pink stuff, and bring the battery in. I made the mistake once of leaving the battery out and disconnected and it was d e d dead. I just bring them in the basement and toss a charger on them every so often.
To keep rodents out, get a box or two of mothballs, and spread them around everything that touches the ground, tires, tongue jack and if the stabs are down, around those too. Mice hate those and will stay away, also dryer sheets inside just in case.
Those desiccant type dehumidifiers work well too, they are nothing more than a bucket with a sieve and potassium chloride, non salt based ice melt, that absorbs moisture. Check into them at least once a month and drain or replace as needed.
One other thing, get a box of Brillo or SOS pads, and look into the cabinets for any opening, you should see one where the hose that connects to the pump enters from the fresh tank, open up a pad or two and stuff them into the openings. It keeps the mice from getting in, they don't like the soap, and even if they do, the steel wool keeps them from digging in.
If your floor is dirt, get a couple patio blocks, those flat 12" x 12" square ones work well, and park the tires on those and off the dirt. That keeps snails and other rot inducing things off the rubber.
